FelicityFor the past four years, I have watched you do whatever you had to, whatever it took to stop the people threatening this city. How can you stand there and not ask me to do the same thing?
Because, over the past four years, you, more than anyone else, have seen the toll that it has taken on me.
Felicity
And I told you--
-- Yes, I under... I understand. I agree, that I should not shelter you from making hard decisions. But you want to talk irony? Fine. You were willing to sell your soul to destroy a threat that I created. [stumbles over his next words]
Felicity
One of the reasons I fell in love with you was you were always willing to do what was right. No matter what the cost. Even if it's unbearably hard. It's what makes you you. So how can I be any different? You have sacrificed your soul, for the team, for the city, and for me. You don't... have to carry that burden any longer. Let me do it.
Felicity, I'm.... I can't.
Felicity
Then you'll have to stop me.
[Oliver nods, and Felicity leaves.]
AWAlena Whitlock
[appears a video screen] Hey, Felicity.
Felicity
Hey. Where are you? Are you OK?
We're safe. Thank you, for all of your help. But here's the thing. Your connection to the Green Arrow and his team... it's a liability.
Felicity
Yeah. Well, once we get Chase, he'll see all the good Helix can do.
I'm sorry, but we just can't risk it. Especially now with Cayden back in the fold and ARGUS looking for him. I loved getting to work with you. Meeting your heroes, it turns out it's not so bad after all.
What's next from my favorite power couple?
Felicity
Power couple?
Yeah. I thought that you and Oliver... You guys aren't hooking up again?
Felicity
Oh no, no, God no! Why would you even think that?
Well because every time I come by, you guys are in the middle of exchanging longing looks for each other.
Felicity
No we're not.
Felicity
We look nothing like that.
Oh, how I wish I didn't break up with him.
Felicity
What? What? What?
Oh we were so happy together.
Felicity
Were. Past tense, yes.
Look, I know that he hurt you by not telling you about his son, but–
Felicity
It's not about William. It's about what William represents.
Oliver having sex with another woman.
Felicity
No. But thank you for that visual. William is symptomatic of a larger problem between Oliver and I.
Felicity
Oliver doesn't trust me.
Right, your man who put his life in your hands a couple of thousands of times.
Felicity
Trusting me as Overwatch is one thing, but we're talking about his son, Curtis. His child! Oliver doesn't trust me enough to share important information, and crucial information, with me. What's the point of being in a relationship at all?
I'm not gonna say that Oliver Queen plays great with others.
Felicity
But?
But he can still change that about himself. You know what he can't change?
Felicity
What?
That way he looks at you. You both owe it to each other to see, Felicity.
So we had to move off the Sampson stakeout?
Felicity
Yes. Because John and you were reenacting the paleo version of my favorite scene from Witness.
[off Oliver's look] Harrison Ford almost getting buried under the corn in the barn silo.
Felicity
Ah, that's the one. [She and Curtis fist bump.]
Oh, right. And for those of us who haven't seen every movie ever, they mean it was a trap.
[At Oliver's surprise birthday party]
I love the cake. Where did you get it?
Felicity
Lord Mesa bakery.
How 'bout the number "six"? Is that for the number of members of the team?
Felicity
Actually, I ordered the cake for a six-year-old, because I wasn't sure that I could order a Green Arrow cake for a grown man.
Well, hey, Oliver's a child at heart, right? [off Oliver's look] That is the concussion talking, yep. For sure.
I'm really sorry about that, Curtis.
Well, it's okay. But you should know, that if I had my T-spheres, I would have....
[chagrined] ... Would have still been on the floor.
[to Malcolm] Get them to the plane, make sure that everyone stays safe. [hands Curtis communicators] Comms. Just in case something goes wrong.
[handing Felicity a computer tablet] It's detailed satellite imagery of the island. Again, just in case.
[Felicity kisses Oliver.]
Felicity
[softly] Just in case.
We're gonna make it through this.
Felicity
You can't know that for sure. I didn't want to regret not kissing you. When it comes to the two of us, I regret enough as it is.
[smiling] Let's talk more about this when we're off the island. [hugs Felicity]
This could destroy our whole lives.
Felicity
It's hard to think that before, my biggest worry was getting a new job. And now, it's about whether or not we'll end up in jail.
I thought you were sitting pretty from your Palmer Tech settlement.
Felicity
Uh, yeah, from, like, a year ago.
What are you gonna do? Assuming that we're all not in jail?
Felicity
I mean, I'd definitely rather go to Iron Heights than work at Tech Village again. That place was horrendous. What about you? I mean, you've been out of a job as long as I have.
Not really. I've been doing some free-lance coding in my spare time.
Felicity
You what? What? What spare time?
Yeah. Tell me about it. Barely any. But I did not take a dime from Paul in the divorce, and a man's gotta eat.
Felicity
So you, like, just had a secret job this whole time, you didn't tell anyone about it?
I thought we all, like, had, like, secret jobs.
Felicity
No.
Except for John, maybe. What does he do for money? That's something that's been perplexing me.
Felicity
Well, he's... he's married to the director of A.R.G.U.S.
Ah, yeah, that's right.... She doesn't make a lot of money.
William has a math test later this week that he's really stressing out over, and, um... every time I open my mouth, I'm making it worse.
Felicity
So the man who took down Damien Darhk is bested by arithmetic.
Wasn't my strongest subject in school.
Felicity
No? What was? Truancy?
Felicity
And no doubt.
Has it, um... has it been three years since the first time we did this?
Felicity
Yeah. Let's just hope that this date goes better than that one.
Felicity
[hard whisper] Don't jinx it!
Masked gunmen could come through the door and it would have been better than our first dinner.
Felicity
Well, only because we were not being blown up.
What's happening now is not your fault.
Felicity
Is that what I sounded like all these years?
Felicity
How'd you do it? How did you balance being the Green Arrow, the Mayor, a boyfriend, a brother. How did... How did you do it all by yourself?
I.. I didn't do it all by myself. I had you.
Felicity
Yeah, well, I know you're just saying that to get boyfriend points, and it's working.
I'm being serious, Felicity. Even if we weren't together, you were always there with me. Always there to talk me outta stuff. To help me being the Green Arrow. You were literally in my ear, every second I was in the field. And that's why I followed you to the club tonight, because I want a chance to be there for you the way that you've been there for me.
Felicity
[emotional] Well, then, what would I say to you in this situation?
You would tell me that when I - you - freed Cayden James, I did it because at the moment, at that time, in your heart, you thought it was right.
Felicity
Yeah.
But you would tell me not to live in the past. You told me to make it right in the present. You would tell me to trust myself.
Felicity
[lighter mood] Well, I am very smart, apparently.
[Felicity hides from gunmen while trying to reach the central computer room.]
Felicity
Maybe doing this solo wasn't such a good idea.
[from the Bunker] Good thing you're not alone.
Felicity
Oliver?
Well, technically, if I'm in this chair, that makes me Overwatch.
Felicity
We have a problem. We have a massively huge problem. And considering it's in the same week Oliver's been arrested--
Felicity
The nanothermite when combined with the explosive creates a thermobaric weapon.
What's a thermobaric weapon?
Felicity
It... disperses what is essentially a cloud of fire, and then pressure cooks everything within two hundred yards.
I'm guessing we've given up hope that Cayden James has to cook a lot of turkeys for Thanksgiving.
Felicity
Got it. Maximum damage for a thermobaric bomb is Starling Stadium.
Yeah, we just covered that when we talked about ordering turkey burgers.
I'm saying Billy Joel's playing there tonight. Sold-out crowd. [off the others' looks] I happen to like a wide variety of music, and The Stranger is a treasured piece of rock-and-roll history, yeah.
Felicity
I'm running a surveillance on Curtis, Dinah and Rene, and I have worms crawling through their texts and emails.
Felicity
I'm not spying on them! Like... keeping tabs.
Oliver, why not just confront whoever this is and give them the chance to come clean?
What makes you think they're gonna be forthcoming? How do we know that this isn't just the surface of this betrayal? I mean... look, John, I don't want to spy on them, but if you have a better idea... I'm all for it.
Felicity
Someone goes somewhere suspicious, we'll know.
Felicity, we were all just at the wedding. The most suspicious place they can go is out for late-night pizza.
John, either Curtis, Dinah or Rene gave me up. We need to know why, we need to know who. Otherwise, when you put the hood back on, you could be next.
Felicity
Oh, John Diggle. Savior of souls and bringer of java.
I have been called because I have to find ways to be useful. Been working overtime trying to find Cayden James and I'm still on the Disabled list.
Felicity
Well, not for long. Curtis is on his way over and we will fix you. "We have the technology".
Ah. I'm not the Six Million Dollar Man.
Felicity
Not yet, you're not. And more like $2.4 Million Dollar Man because Curtis and I are stretching pennies with the existing bucks as it is.
